This is a full blown desktop machine but I do get boot times of 30 seconds from a cold start. Including the Grub timeout (standard 5 sec.) So I do think the "hardware too fast for the software" idea isn't too far fetched...

I do not have any concrete evidence to support this; I'm just thinking out loud.

GDM is configured to auto-login my user (only user) but it no longer does so reliably. Most of the time it's fine, but increasingly more often it fails and presents me with a login screen. I then do a forced-reboot on the hardware and mostly it auto-logs in afterwards. But recently it presented me again with another login screen. Another reboot solved that. I assume there's a script not read properly somewhere, but what, how and where? Could other scripts prevent it from proper execution (not that I've added anything) or the kernel not doing its job as instructed? There's plenty of RAM, 32 GB should suffice, right?
